Abstract: Novel composite orthopedic devices with modulus variations are disclosed. The device contains an extraosseous portion attached to a first intraosseous portion which is secured to a second intraosseous portion; the intraosseous portions may interface with the intramedullary canal of the human femur. The modulus varies along the length of the device, decreasing from the extraosseous portion to the second intraosseous portion. The variations in modulus are achieved by forming the device from a composite comprising filaments nonlinearly disposed about the longitudinal axes of the device and within a polymer matrix. The method of making the present orthopedic device is also disclosed.

Abstract: A computerized reservation system including controlling and monitoring of group travel related services is presented. In addition to master inventory of travel related services and a set of passenger name records which correlate individuals with reserved travel related services from the master inventory, the present invention uses a group control record which includes a group inventory which is a subset of the master inventory, and a number of group related passenger name records, which are a subset of the general passenger name records. When changes are made to any one of the master inventory, group control records or group passenger name records, appropriate changes are automatically made in the others of these three. Thus, the monitoring and controlling of group travel related services is greatly facilitated.

Abstract: A spatial positioning apparatus providing three-dimensional position information and methods to utilize the position information for improved surveying, construction layout, equipment operations, manufacturing control and autonomous vehicle control is disclosed. The spatial positioning apparatus includes at least three, preferably four, fixed referent stations (210). A minimum of two, preferably three, of the fixed stations sweeps a spread laser beam horizontally across the site of interest (Fig. 1B). The remaining fixed stations sweeps a spread beam vertically across the site of interest (Fig. 2). A strobe signal is emitted from each fixed station when the rotation mechanism actuates a rotation datum (230 or 234). The spatial positioning apparatus also includes one or more portable position sensors (240). The portable position sensor includes a light sensitive detector (242), a computer (246), and a display (254). The x, y, z coordinates of the portable position sensor are obtained through a triangulation technique based on time marks received from each spread laser beam from the fixed stations and the rotation datum received from the strobe of each fixed station. Alternatively, the system may include counter-rotating lasers (Fig. 17) and/or an ''axicon''-type detector (Fig. 25). Multiple portable position sensors for use in attitude information for productivity improvement for equipment and for control of autonomous vehicles are disclosed.

Abstract: An electrical power-supply device 1 for very-low-voltage DC loads, for example DC motors of air-conveyor devices and for window and door fitting actuating drives is described, which consists of photovoltaic elements 2 (solar panels) and an accumulator 3 on which said elements 2 act and which is connected upstream of the load as a buffer device.   In order that the accumulator can be maintained in a charge state which ensures the correct operability of the DC load in all circumstances, a mains-powered transformer 4 is allocated to the accumulator 3 in addition to the photovoltaic elements 2. In this case, the accumulator 3 can be connected to the photovoltaic element 2 and/or to the secondary part of the transformer 4 via a charging regulator 5 which, in turn, can be switched over between three different switching states, as a function of the charge state of the accumulator 3. In this case, the one switching state connects the photovoltaic elements 2 and the transformer 4 in parallel with one another to the accumulator 3, while the second switching state isolates the transformer 4 from the accumulator 3, and the third switching state also isolates the photovoltaic elements 2 from the accumulator 3. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A connection, such as a soldered connection between the ends (4, 5), which can be fitted together, of two tubular piece parts, has interacting sloping surfaces (16, 17) at both ends. The sloping surfaces (16, 17) orientate the inner end (5) in a sliding and centring manner relative to the outer end (4) in such a way that the connecting or soldering surfaces (14, 15) closely adapted to one another find their way into their predetermined congruent position by themselves. At the same time, the connecting or soldering agent (30) can be applied to the joint with the inner end (5) and while being stripped off can be collected there in an annular bead. This results in substantial simplifications in the making of the connection, which is thus suitable for fully automatic mechanised production. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The sampling process for measuring electrical resistivity by applying an electrical current via two emission electrodes (A,B) and measuring the potential between two measuring electrodes (M) comprises placing a probe containing a number of emission electrodes (A) and a number of measuring electrodes (M) in a drill shaft, with the number of emission electrodes being greater than the number of measuring electrodes. The emission electrodes are spaced at regular intervals and the measuring electrodes are placed centrally between the emission electrodes along the length of the probe. A fixed emission electrode (B) is placed "at infinity". The emission electrodes are supplied in turn and the potential between a pair of measuring electrodes is measured to obtain information representing the soil at the level of that pair of electrodes and at different positions in the soil relative to the probe, each position being related to one emission electrode. The above step is repeated for the different pairs of measuring electrodes to obtain information representing the soil at various levels. Also claimed are: (i) the application of the above process to controlling the injection of material such as concrete or grout into the soil; (ii) a probe for use in the above process; and (iii) a sampling device for carrying out the above process.

Date May 11, 1994Peroxide, particularly supplied as hydrogen peroxide, is an effective nucleic acid degrading agent and can be used in the recovery of intracellularly produced materials from cell (particularly bacterial) lysates. The degradation or removal of nucleic acids from cell lysates is important because they form solutions of high viscosity which interfere with subsequent processing. Peroxide degradation is particularly useful in the recovery of polyhydroxyalkanoate polymers such as polyhydroxybutyrate/valerate from lysates of bacterial cells in which they are produced.
